Light Scribed | Jeffrey Dale

Born in 1984 in Denver, Colorado Jeffrey Dale grew up off and on in Louisville, Colorado; spending middle school in Yokohama, Japan. After joining the US Army in 2002 he would eventually be stationed around the world in places such as Korea, Afghanistan, and Haiti. In 2007 he was inspired by a close friend to return to school.

When he returned to Colorado he moved to Ft. Collins and began schooling where he discovered his passion for art and photography at Colorado State University. In 2010 at the rank of Sergeant, Dale deployed to Afghanistan as part of the Global War on Terror - not as a photojournalist but rather as an IT Systems Specialist. Just like art found him, so too did documenting the journey of Afghanistan.

While in Afghanistan, Dale also worked as first the Photo Editor and later as Assistant Editor for "The Mountain" magazine. In 2012 he began working at JUR Press as the Art Editor, eventually moving up to the position of Managing Editor. 

Currently Jeffrey resides in Windsor Colorado with his wife Jaime and their son Elijah. He holds a (dual) Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Photographic Image Making and Fiber Art from Colorado State University.
